[edit] Exceptions

The class exception provides a common interface to signal for error conditions through the throw expression.

[edit] Exception categories

Several convenience classes are predefined to report particular error conditions. These classes can be divided into two categories: logic errors and runtime errors. Logic errors are a consequence of faulty logic within the program and may be preventable. Runtime errors are due to events beyond the scope of the program and can not be easily predicted.

• logic_error

• invalid_argument
• domain_error
• length_error
• out_of_range

• runtime_error

• range_error
• overflow_error
• underflow_error

[edit] Error numbers

Several macros are available, that provide POSIX error number support. An errno variable is also supported, a separate value is given to each thread.

[edit] Assert

assert macro aborts the program if the user-specified condition is not true.

static_assert function renders the program ill-formed if the user-specified condition is not true (C++0x).
